Henry's Back!


The last few weeks have been kind of a low for Henry. Once we figured out the allergy thing, and got him on a good formula and got his nausea under control he is smiling and happy and active Henry again! I pray frequently that Henry will be able to over come all the small stuff that bothers his body so that he can just focus on fighting the big disease. However, I do believe that sometimes the small things help us and the Doctors to better understand the big problems. Yet through it all Henry always has a smile! What a trooper! He took a bath yesterday and was actually happy and splashing around. He hasn't done that in months!! I was so excited I took video of it... don't worry only showed his face and arms. :) I am thinking that since he won't do any weight bearing on his legs that getting him into the pool will help him strengthen his arms and legs. He loves to splash and thinks it's really funny to splash Granny and Mommy.
We went to Costco yesterday and found a really cute pj for Henry, it's size 9months, but he fits it. He is gaining weight though and growing. It's hard sometimes to believe that he's gonna be one. He acts and moves more like a 6 month old. But at least there is progress.
Tomorrow we have to do another blood test to see if he has the CMV virus still. His body hasn't shown any of the symptoms of the virus but it's still there. So they are thinking that his body has been doing a good job of fighting it off, and are hoping it's gone so they don't have to treat him. The antibiotic or treatment for CMV is a lot like the RSV he had before, and it really knocks his counts out. So we're praying for the virus to be gone. We'll keep you updated. HUGS!
